What downtime? There were rumors of degraded video chat capacity, which is a nuisance but not a catastrophe.

Sending videos was extremely slow/timing out for ~1 hour, ~24h ago

I was sending a few short videos to several contacts (during the FB outage) and the upload speed was something like 20KB/s, whereas normally 2MB are uploaded before I blink.

My account is from 2016, if not 2015 even.

I also had minor issues for an hour or so. Messages not sending or loading for example.

I wonder if they meant longest idle accounts. It would make sense to throttle them if they're just running tmux with an idle shell or ten. Like a bigger renice that shuts off when the process stops being idle.

Just mainly me and two other people.

Specifically happened to US users.

I have an old account but images did not load correctly. Seems the experience is not the same on other countries.

Same. No issues.
